Skills
Summary
As an accomplished international business professional and art historian, my breadth of experience has spanned across an array of sectors around the world. I am highly versatile with a convertible skillset, developed through the publishing, education, and IT marketing industries. My educational degrees include art history, business, and psychology. Most notably, I specialize in research focusing upon the globalization of contemporary art, including from the Middle East and Gulf Region. My multi-faceted interests and areas of expertise render me a vital asset to global multi-disciplinary projects. I was the founder of Silicon Valley Europe B.V., a networking business dedicated to leading global technology clusters. With the company, I curated and facilitated executive business innovation missions to Silicon Valley and other high tech areas for companies from the Benelux, Switzerland, and South Africa. I am an all-around team player with astute organizational and networking abilities. I am passionate about fostering connections between people and ideas in order to develop creative solutions for difficult problems. As a lifelong learner, I harness my steadfast perseverance and astute perception across all of my research. I am avidly seeking exciting opportunities to leverage my distinctive combination of art history acumen, robust research skills, and entrepreneurial zeal within an institutional (museum) or company setting— including on a project basis.
